Expression of aquaporin 5 during murine palatine glands development: a light and electron microscopic immunocytochemical study

Although aquaporin 5 (AQP5) seems to play a role in cytodifferentiation and cell proliferation during the development of salivary glands, its distribution during minor salivary glands development has been scarcely reported. This study examined the temporal‐spatial distribution of AQP5 in the developing rat palatine glands using light and electron microscopy. At embryonic (E) age E18, AQP5 labeling was observed on the cell membranes of some terminal bulb cells. After lumenization at E20, AQP5 labeled...

Effect of cell‐free spent media prepared from Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans on the growth of Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans in co‐species biofilms

This study explored the influence of cell‐free spent media prepared from Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans LuxS mutant (Aa‐LuxS), its wild type strain (Aa‐WT), and the laboratory strain (Aa‐Y4), on the interaction between Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans while growing in co‐species biofilm for 48 h. By analyzing the results of crystal violet staining, [3‐(4,5‐dimethyl‐2‐thiazolyl)‐2,5‐diphenyl‐2H‐tetrazolium bromide] (MTT) assays, and quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction...

Feasibility of virtual surgical simulation in the head and neck region for soft tissue reconstruction using free flap: a comparison of preoperative and postoperative volume measurement

In the head and neck region, preoperative evaluation of the free flap volume is challenging. The current study validated preoperative three-dimensional (3D) virtual surgical simulation for soft tissue reconstruction by assessing flap volume and evaluated fat and muscle volume changes at follow-up in 13 head and neck cancer patients undergoing anterolateral craniofacial resection. Patients received 3D virtual surgical simulation, and the volume of the planned defects was estimated by surgical simulation.

Medication‐Related Osteonecrosis of the Maxilla: Prognosis of Oral Surgery Combined with Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the effect of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) on the resolution of maxillary MRONJ (medication‐related osteonecrosis of the jaw). Patients and Methods This study included 62 patients diagnosed with MRONJ in the maxillary posterior area with or without maxillary sinusitis. All patients underwent oral surgery. The concomitant maxillary sinusitis was evaluated, and if indicated, FESS was performed on the same operation. Follow‐up included clinical...

IMRT vs 2D/3D conformal RT in oropharyngeal cancer: a review of the literature and meta‐analysis

Abstract Background and purpose Based on literature Intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) provides less related toxicity compared with conventional 2D/3D‐RT with no impact on oncological outcomes for oropharyngeal cancer. The aim of this systematic review and meta‐analysis is to assess whether IMRT might provide similar clinical outcomes with reduced related toxicity in comparison with conventional 2D/3D RT in patients treated for clinically advanced oropharyngeal cancer (OPC). Materials...
